of the country's 200 ruv^ sngnr
plants, 115 virtually wore rpxed during
tho war, (ho figures show, and most of
tho .half million acres of sugar-beet
land were devastated by tho lavage?
of battle,
None of tho larger sugar plants hits
resumed business because \>f lack of
buildings, and sugnr hoot production
this year was said to ho almost iril.
Hoth of these conditions aro due la a
measure to Insufficient transportation
facilities. Mstlinates of a special com
mittee of the chamber- of deputlee,
which forecast h sugar shortage l?at
Ing three years, however, gave encour
agement for half the normal output of
(he country within two years.
At the present time, the absence of
?uigar In Prance has resulted In the In*
ability of persons holding sugar cards
' to get any of the commodity for weeks
at a time.
Raising of sugar beets virtually has
teased In six of the eight beet-raising
departments, due to the churning of
the ground by shell explosions, the
necessity of clearing aw*y unexploded
ammunition and the presence of barbed
wire and other debris. About one*
twentieth of the land Is considered
useless for many years, and at least
one-third is declared to have suffered
depreciation of half Its value. The loss
In land Is In addition to the destruction
of buildings and the atrlpplng or re
moval of machinery.
Direct I(jhh to plants In the sugar In
dustry Is estimated by the chamber
committee to be (VT.">,(MH),(X)0 francs.

MADE GREAT AIRMAN WONDER
French Expert's Peculiar Explanation
Concerning Daring Exploit of
American* Avlatore.
Albert Wolff, the famous French mu
sical composer, won fame In the field
of aviation during the world war. He
had an experience with American dash
and fearlessness that la well told In
the New York Times.
"At Blanclnesnil," says Wolff, "we
were in close communication with the
American commander. Til send 24
American pilots over' to get 'era.* I
went to my superior officer. 'It can't
be done!' I said. 'These planes are all
SalmsonH, a new machine, and quite
different. They will all bo smashed and
the men killed!' It was too late to
call a halt, however. The Americans
came.' I explained as well as I could
the differences between the Saimsons
and the planes they were accustomed
to, and nway thoy went. AH got away
without mishap, and $ said : 'The good
God Is with them.' Hut when word
was telephoned buck that they had aTI
innded without a crash or a single ac
cident to themselves or the planes,
then I said: 'They must have the devil
on their side Into the bargain!' I
really must see 01 0 of your football
games!" . V.:j
Slave Traffic Still Exists. t
Slnve trafllc nlong the Arab const In
Illegal uniler the terms of certain con
ventions, but slavery, nevertheless, Is
said still to exist to n rather consider
able extent. A few years ngo mem
bers of the American Arabian mission
at HahreJn rescued a whole boatload
of black boys who had been smuggled
up from Africa for sale along the
Oman const. Tn the Interior towns
slaves are used mostly as personal
servants, bodyguards and hostlers. Ry
an old law In Arabia, a slave Is freed
after seven years of service, provided
he has embraced the Moslem religion,
and It Is said that most of the slaves
do so. There Is no prejudice against
marriage with blacks In Arabia, espe
cially after they are freed. This In
termarriage has scattered a black poj>
ulatlon all over Arabia. In ports like
Muskat and Aden mulattoes and mixed
breeds afe so common that the pure
Arab strain Is almost a rarity.
Degrees in Commerce.
Commercial education is to receive
new Impetus at the University of Lon
don, where degrees In commerce are to
he inaugurated in the near future.
There are to be two degrees: First,
that of bnchelor of commerce, which
would correspond to the same degree
In the other faculties; and, secondly,
the degree of master of commerce. The
salient lden Is that a modern language
Is to be taught, not as an academic,
but aS a practical subject, says the
United States bureau of education.
Among the languages which are to be
taught as practical rather than aca
demic subjects would be Polish, Czech,
Rumanian, modern Greek, and the
great eastern languages, Hindustani,
Chinese and others.
Boy's Exploit Remarkable. .
A twenty-four hours' battle with
death ended at San Francisco with
the arrival of the little schooner S. N.
Castle, a thirteen-year-old boy at her
helm, bringing to safety bis father, the
captain, his sick mother, and a crew
of three men.
The Castle, a three-masted schooner,
was 5)4 days from Apia with a cargo
of copra. Three days from the Sa
moan port the Caslle started leaking
and shipping sens at the rate of twelve
; feet a day. The donkey engine was
! started to run th<> pumps and the
eargo of copra fed as fuel.
[ Harry Anderson. 13. manned thf
! frhlp while his fnthir worked with the
| men at the pumps.
Labor Shortage Hit Gold Minino.
Twenty-five gold lode mine* were
operated in Alaska in 101ft, according
to the United States geological sur
vey, department of the Interior.
There was also a production of seven
prospects?abandoned mines or small
mines that were not In regular opera
tion. The value of the gold lode out*
put decreased from $4..">81,4.r?3 In 1017
to $3.473.317 In 1D1S. owing partly to
the disaster xt the Treadwell mine In
April, 1917. and partly to curtailment
of ?pr. ntiona, especially in the
Junosu district, because of shortage
